Now what kind of hockey bloggers would we be if we didn’t do our own Mock Draft for NHL All-Star Game? Terrible ones, that’s what kind. Just to preface, this draft was conducted via Gmail chat and remained mostly civil and professional, with the exception of when Pants drafted Sharp and when Chuck drafted Letang. […]
Today is failing at life. First off, it snowed this morning just in time for my morning commute to work. (Me + slippery snow – no morning caffeine = grumpy) We are supposed to get 8-12″ more tomorrow night and the Bruins got shut out by the LA Kings last night. Then I get to […]
The NHL announced the Skills Competition format for this year’s All-Star Game. This has always been our favorite part of ASG weekend, because there is lots of skating without helmets. Lunchtime poll: Will Letang wears a helmet or not? He’d need a headband for sure but it’s a sin to cover up that hair. Maybe […]
And so it begins. A very important lesson why we all need to drink more water. ‘Because d’eye-dra-shun’ iz bad. Very bad. And za-coaches, zay, ‘el me, eye need to drink more. I don’t know ey, but I do. ‘ Nuf said’ Point taken – watch, learn and go get yourself a long, very cold […]
Ok – Mr. Cherrie is out of town with no internet access so I have to get this post out of my system because he is mad as a hornet that I have a crush on Kris Letang. And if you haven’t guessed, I don’t do anything half-assed. Spell check is telling me that is […]
Here at WUYS we’ve always commented on how awesome hockey fans are. The video below only reinforces that notion. My only comment, well, no I have several as usual. I envision the morning after being Fleury and Sid, with Sid finding Fleury watching cartoons in a Caps jersey! Or J Staal and his girly legs in […]
There are a lot of things that I really love about New England. Fall foliage, apple picking, and cider donuts. Springtime strolls through the Public Gardens and late summer games at Fenway Park. But perhaps my favorite thing about New England is backyard hockey rinks. My favorite college professor (and former hockey writer for Sports […]
WUYS BFF Cassy spent all day yesterday making sure good little boys and girls were treated to this Christmas delight. I used to think the Blackhawks had the most fun, with their popsicle eating contests and fake beards, but I was wrong. The Belfast Giants are the most fun hockey team on Earth. Super-mega-ultra bonus […]
With friends like these, who needs enemies? Sid and Ovi will be featured in the January issue of Vanity Fair. They may be dressed like waiters but it doesn’t take much to get us all riled up. NHL.com posted this behind-the-scenes video of the photoshoot. There’s also this teaser blog from Vanity Fair and this […]

Today is a happy day for me. Not only is in Thursday and that means free sandwiches in the office (SCORE!), but today is also the day that Marc Savard returned to the ice today for the Boston Bruins. Like Balki Bartokimous, I do a dance of joy! Savvy has been sidelined since the end of playoffs last […]
In case you haven’t heard, the NHL is getting behind ‘Movember’, a movement established to create additional awareness for men’s health – especially prostate cancer. Their tagline is quite catchy : “Grow that Mo and SAVE A BRO!” So when you see your favorite player a little more hairy then usual, now you know why! […]
Currently, the NHL has players from over 20 different countries and with all that diversity, you are bound to get some pretty awesome hockey names. We here at WUYS truly appreciated the weird and wonderful, so we thought we’d share some of our favorite NHL players names with you. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE? Chuck loves – […]
Ok, bare with me. No, I didn’t dream this but I REALLY want this to happen. While I was watching Battle of the Blades last night, my cat was digging at me trying to get under my snuggie and he has the cutest butt! Then I was watching ValKat skate and I was mesmerized by […]
We here at WUYS are fans of all sort of hockey teams – mites, squirts, bantam, college, professional, beer league. No matter where you are in the world, if you’re playing hockey, we’re cheering for you. So we wanted to give a big shout out to the University of Georgia Ice Dawgs for keeping it […]
Mike! I told you the fight was plenty, and the sweaty Ovi workout shirt you stole for Dawn. Please stop lavishing me with gifts for our joint birthday celebration. Good thing it’s over, I’m not sure what else you might do. Caps TV did a totally boring Mike Green birthday segment in which Mike showed […]
Normally, when I wake up, I just roll out of bed and shuffle my way to the bathroom, bleary eyed and half asleep, with maybe a “good morning” grunt to my roommate. But today was different. When I woke up, I had extra pep in my step. Sure it could have been that the sun […]
That is the subject line of an email I received this morning. Intrigued, I clicked on the link. This is what I found. Metro West Underwater Hockey Underwater hockey is a very fast-moving game that provides great exercise and quickly builds swimming capability. It is played on the bottom of a swimming pool and players […]
Welcome to our new feature, Foxy Friday! Every week, we’ll each choose one hockey player (NHLer or College) who embodies what we feel is the essence, the spirit, nah the quiddity of Foxy Friday – to be smokin’ hot and a wikked good hockey player. Sure there are other “foxy” criteria that we could consider, like […]
